More good news for Fox’s Bones, which on Friday was renewed for next season. The crime dramedy solidified its status of Fox’s ultimate utility player with a strong return from a long hiatus in a new time slot. In its Monday 8 PM debut, Bones (2.5/7 in adults 18-49, 8.2 million viewers) was up 4% from its most recent Thursday outing in January, when it was used to launch spinoff The Finder. House (2.2/6) didn’t get much of a bounce in moving back to 9 PM, up a tenth from its last original at 8 PM two weeks ago.
NBC’s The Voice (4.1/11) and ABC’s Dancing With The Stars (2.8/7) continue to cannibalize each other. The Voice was down 9% from last week to a season low, Dancing was down 13% to tie an all-time performance show low. ABC’s Castle (2.2/5) and NBC’s Smash (2.2/5) finished in a tie among adults 18-49. Castle was down two tenths from its fast national last week, Smash was even. Because of overruns from the performance shows that precede them, both dramas will likely be adjusted down in the finals like they were last week. CBS is expected to dominate the night with the NCAA championship game. CBS Sports is yet to release time-adjusted numbers but in the fast nationals, the game is running 7% above last year’s final in 18-49.

Thank you for acknowledging that the voice and dancing are cannabiluzing each other. I think it’s stupid of NBC not to move the voice to tuesdays
Glad to see that soap opera, I mean murder solving show Bones did well. Seriously though,what was once one of my favorite shows is no longer. Love story,baby, what’s next-adopting a cute little puppy? This show has changed,but,not for the better. Seems I stopped watching just in time.This program is only a shell of its’ former self.
Disagree firmly. There’s still plenty of death and investigation. I like these characters, I would watch them if they all got fired and moved en masse to the infants and toddlers section of JC Penney.
I have to agree. They can make anything interesting.
You would think that the Voice would change it’s time slot so it maximize ratings. Bones is still getting ratings which is surprising considering how much it has dropped off.
I bet the NCAA Championship affected demo ratings for The Voice and DWTS more than anything else. The NCAA Championship had a 7.0 demo rating. Nothing on television draws that type of demo in primetime anymore unless it’s a sporting event or a huge awards ceremony. And CBS like all the networks are becoming more and more reliant on sports programming to buffer their ailing programming. Here’s a clue to all the white programmers on the big networks( no minority programmers that I know of). Try scheduling shows that have mass appeal rather than shows that only appeal to the small percentage of people looking for vulgar filth to watch then you might actually see demo numbers spike. That said, a 2.8 demo rating with 17 million viewers for DWTS is still kicking butt and I hope NBC is stupid enough to leave The Voice on Monday so that Tuesdays are free for Lionel Richie’s and Kelly Clarkson’s new singing competition to take over.
if you think the same people who were watching the NCAA championship are the same people who watch dancing and the voice, i’m just not sure what to say to you. the game had nothing to do with the shrinking ratings.
You know something this ia a great show! A wonderful episode! And I feel excited about love and baby stuff, everything is fine! And thi is not a “soap opera”, at all. “BONES” is the best!!!
I honestly don’t get why NBC is keeping the voice on mondays — with such cut throat competition from dancing with the stars and the CBS comedies — it was getting after the monday after the Super Bowl a 7.7 in the demo and close to 20 million viewers, now it’s down to half. It could easily win Tuesdays because it has zero reality competition and actually be the number one show of the week. NBC is only damaging itself and dancing with the stars in the process and I guess if that’s what it needs to do that so be it, but they are clearly losing a number 1 show for no reason but to win one night — and only in the demos, dancing still wins in viewers and NBC doesn’t win any nights.
